Hi. I'm MrSmite.
(No, I'm not related to that damned cow.)
You're probably here to view my comment history. That's great! You'll find an assortment of sarcastic (but often truthful) commentary, some jabs, and boatloads of lighthearted fun.
However, be warned: I've essentially stopped posting regularly as of late 2012. Mostly, this is because of the vitriolic nature of the average visitor and the emotional temperatures that tend to exceed reasonable levels on a variety of issues. It's okay though; I suspect it's a generational thing. I'm in my early 30s and most Imgurians are probably in the 18-25 demographic. I don't "get" much of the humor anymore, I don't watch television, I don't care for most movies, and the majority of highly visible quotes are those that repeat mindless pop culture drivel, memes, or other stupidly inane things that have no business being repeated. Thoughtful, insightful, and well-researched comments often sink to the bottom, no matter how much I upvote them.
Simply put: It isn't fun anymore. And you know what? That's okay. I love Imgur for its disruption of the image hosting niche, and it is pretty impressive what they've accomplished with a fairly modest technology stack based on PHP and MySQL (then again, look at Facebook, right?).
If you're politically right of center, you should follow me on Twitter (@ajsmite) or just give me a shout out if you know me from here (or on Reddit).
Cheers, folks.
